“Every peak is a crater. This is the law of volcanoes, making them eternally and visibly female.” – Adrienne Rich

 

for every

emotion to hit its peak

it is

required to first be a

valley a moon’s crater

to achieve this

we must travel to the depths where it is

the frigid cold like the

underside of the pillow the law

of progress the reality of

sleeping amongst volcanoes

we are tired heroes in the making

trudging the depths of them

the valleys chiseled in the face of the moon eternally

reliably and

without question our progress is visibly

goddess warrior female
